Cracker Barrel’s co-founder has delivered a scathing critique of the restaurant chain’s CEO after a botched rebranding.
Tommy Lowe, 93, accused Julie Felss Masino of failing to grasp what Cracker Barrel stands for, pointing to her previous stint at Taco Bell.
‘They’re trying to modernize to be like the competition. Cracker Barrel doesn’t have any competition,’ Low, who co-founded Cracker Barrel with the late Dan Evins in Lebanon, Tennessee in 1969, told WTVF.

MONTREAL — A 17-year-old boy who allegedly intended to carry out an attack on behalf of the Islamic State is facing a new charge of assaulting a peace officer.
Federal prosecutor Marc Cigana told reporters at Montreal’s youth court that the alleged assault occurred at RCMP headquarters in Westmount, Que., after the teen was arrested on Aug. 20.
The vice-president has waded in on the row over the depiction of the St George’s Cross in protest against immigration
JD Vance urged people to “push back against the crazies” who object to flying the English flag, in another transatlantic intervention from the US vice-president into freedom of expression.
Vance did not hold back when asked to comment on the summer grassroots campaign Operation Raise the Colours, which resulted in councils in Birmingham and Tower Hamlets pulling down flags from lampposts and bridges.
Speaking at a Brampton home on Friday, Poilievre announced the “Stand on Guard” principle, a plan to amend Section 34 of the Criminal Code.
The change would presume that force used against an unlawful intruder who poses a threat to safety is reasonable, removing what Conservatives call the current “legal limbo” faced by Canadians who act in self-defence.

The number of RCMP officers on long-term sick leave has surged by 184 per cent over the past 15 years, according to a report from the RCMP Management Advisory Board (MAB).
The oversight body, which advises the RCMP Commissioner, found that from January 2010 to January 2024, the rate of regular members on extended leave jumped from 28.5 per 1,000 officers to 81 per 1,000.
At the beginning of 2025, seven per cent of the force – or 1,413 regular members – were on leave due to illness, injury or disability lasting more than 30 consecutive days. Of those, 580 officers had been away for more than a year, while 243 had been on leave for over two years.
This week, another transgender shoot-up of a Christian school provides more chilling evidence that the culture war is a spiritual war. The Minneapolis shooter’s actions and Democrats’ interpretation of them both demonstrate this.
… As reported previously by The Bureau in coverage of a sweeping FinTRAC warning on Chinese underground banking in Toronto, FinCEN is now raising similar alarms. The Treasury said so-called “money mules” often rely on falsified jobs and identities to gain access to the banking system, disguise unexplained wealth, and buy residential properties. In cases where these mules opened accounts, they frequently listed occupations such as “student,” “housewife,” “retired,” or “laborer” — roles that would not normally involve large volumes of financial activity — yet the accounts showed high-value deposits and transactions consistent with laundering.
Pakistan is one of the world’s most repressive regimes, as it systematically targets dissidents—critics as well as members of ethnic and religious minorities. Such targeting occurs in various ways, including through abductions, arrests, torture, and murders. As a result, many critics flee the country and seek asylum elsewhere, hoping for a freer and safer life. Yet, even in exile, they are targeted and persecuted by Pakistan’s Intelligence Services (ISI).
Earlier this month, 19 former senior Israeli security officials — past heads of the Israel Defence Forces, directors of the spy agency Mossad, chiefs of Israel’s internal security agency Shin Bet and other senior brass — called on Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu to end the war in Gaza. Their arguments varied, but all agreed that what began as a just and necessary war nearly two years ago has devolved into a cynical exercise in keeping Netanyahu’s coalition in power.
The Pallies will never be happy with a two state solution. They love killing Jews.
I’m starting to think Yvette Cooper is a Reform UK plant. What else could explain the debacle that is the Court of Appeal case about the Bell Hotel in Epping?
Last week, a High Court judge granted a temporary injunction, barring the Bell’s use for housing asylum seekers, citing a breach of planning law and the intolerable fear of crime and unrest in the area.

Home Office Wins Appeal to Lift Epping Migrant Hotel Injunction
This is a dark day for the people of Epping.
Well at least we know for certain now that the regime values asylum seekers more than the natives

By now it should be clear that the subjection of the United States to the dictatorship of Donald Trump is no longer a theoretical possibility or even a distant probability. It is an imminent reality.
It is not here, quite – critics of the President remain at large, the courts are still attempting to enforce the rule of law, the results of the 2026 and 2028 elections have not yet been determined – but the pieces are being put in place at astonishing speed.
The UK government might as well stop pretending to share the public’s desire to get a handle on illegal migration, for it seems incapable of going a single day without making itself look ridiculous on the issue.
There is no shortage of stories about heroic bystanders intervening to stop assaults and attacks committed by migrants in Europe.
The most well-known incident occurred on a Paris-bound train in 2015, when three American tourists thwarted a mass terrorist attack by a Moroccan national armed with a Kalashnikov; one of them was shot in the process. Then there was the “backpack hero,” who chased a Syrian refugee out of a park in France after he stabbed four kids and two adults in 2023. Moving on to this year, in July, passengers overpowered another Syrian national on a train in southern Germany after he injured four people with a hammer.
Canadians won’t see what cabinet is planning for a massive new CBC subsidy until after the next federal budget, as the Department of Canadian Heritage has pushed back disclosure of a key funding memo by five months.
The document, titled Elements Of A Renewed Approach To Strengthen Canada’s National Public Broadcaster, was prepared for Heritage Minister Steven Guilbeault and dated May 30, just weeks after Prime Minister Mark Carney vowed to boost the CBC’s $1.4 billion annual subsidy if Liberals were re-elected.
